I am free off confidentiality, but, how can I do this? I ask myself. I suspect the best mind and sharpest intellect in HazWaste, in the world, is Randy Birchfield, of ECI in Illinois. For me, it's not a contest. I hire Randy, if he's available.

I have to do this with the cross-section of America. I know sthngirl will throw rocks, but I am the independent person between LDEQ, EPA, and private entities. I know what the day in, day out soil contamination levels are, in New Orleans. The real problem is that the kids of Orleans and St. Bernard's Parishes are playing in dirty dirt, to begin with. You folks [all of us], are wasting your tax dollars unless you at least go and look at Rep. Baker's proposed bill. The rest of my company makes money to haul the soil, so we'll do just fine. As for me, my best client asked my opinion today and I said, 'glub, glub, glub, excuse me as I'm snorkeling.' Anyone interseted, I'll send links too. These are the real data and filling/ capping the lower areas of NO are the only numbers that will ever make sense. Anywhere else in the country, we would need 2-feet of cover or some asphalt. If I'm missing something, somebody please educate me.

OK. I didn't think so. I would love a second opinion, but think I know what I am seeing. well enough. Even the great mayor hisself and his environmental advisor have seen this. And you will get sued for it, you folks in Idaho.

There was no Murphy Oil spill, that I can see, in New Orleans. I am considered as a good, independent third party in court. The flooding and lawsuits I see were a containment breach, not a leak. I watched from the first day, a Tuesday when I was working on a different site and copied by pertinent people. That was a containment breach, water getting over the dike, with old saran-wrap looking oil waste floating out, off the top. If someone has better or different imagery or data, please post that. I don't think it exists and I think everyone that pretends it does is a hoser. Anybody that can post an un-photoshopped image of a rainbow coming off of Murphy, is probably not truthful. But maybe. I never saw that, from Tuesday morning, so don't make it up. People risked their lives to go underwater and restore communications in the southeast and whomever you are, if you think it is funny to post false images, your a liar. I know and history will know there was no Murphy Oil spill into the Lower Ninth Ward or St. Bernard's parish. And that is the most truthfull information I can relate, to bloglits across time zones.

OK, morning all. Wait Wait is not on yet. So, I pose a question. Not having shaved for two days, I wonder if this is a beard or merely a license to write on cardboard and stand in traffic. This is an important question, as I have to sit here, waiting for Wait Wait, as opposed to going snorkeling, and apparently stroking my chin is not resistable. Boy, is this going to hurt, scraping this off if I ever go back to work.

Hi Siouxie! Not looking good for me to come down (major pout). However, I just received an email from Publisher's Clearing House telling me that someone with MY initials MUST be named the winner! So, once I collect, I'll hire a private jet and "pop" down, k?

It appears Wait Wait is on @ 11am, in my area. It also appears that webcasts will become available @ 4pm.

Bali, as for last night's rant, no, I wouldn't wanna say that. It was truthful, but the spelling was questionable. I am in a terrific battle with LDEQ and the EPA, doing their jobs and managing contaminated soils, which is almost over and no longer confidential. The real, honest truth is that the soils in Orleans and St. Bernards parishes are not safe for kids to play in and never have been [public, published data], since those areas were filled with Mississippi mud. It's the sort of thing that makes one wish for 5pm and happy hour. Anywhere else in the nation, I would have to cap those soils with 2-feet of clean fill ar else have the area paved. Politics, sheesh!

Jeez, I went and killed the thread. Well, there was kinda a selfish reason. I know the other side hangs out on the web and I wanted to somehow put down in writing hints to the locations for the real data. For my selfish self, I'm taking a class to renew my captain's license and my old hippie buddy and I are going to pool our money and start up a boat-moving business. A bloglit once used the word 'manic' in an email to me and I realized that is exactly what I have become. It's time for Atlas Shrugged. [which is exactly why Angelina Jolie can't be allowed to have the role of Dagny Taggart; she must be kidnapped! Arrgghh!]

Before you FL folks burn me in effigy, I would like to state I have actually downloaded several of FSU's drum cadences and music because they rock. I was in drum corps back in the late jurassic period. Still, I do live in NE . . . so GO BC.

Scott, I have no idea why that happened to you, but the NPR links all kicked up Windows Media Player for me. I'll leave the explaining/guessing why to the more tech-savvy, but my machine is definitely getting the audio in .wma format.

Hi WD. Looking at the javascript link it looks like it tries to choose based on the browser. Using Opera under Windows it works fine but I was using Firefox which called for an SMIL file (which is also RealAudio, I guess).

BTW - tnx 4 tryin', Blue ... I'm on a mac, so that's usually the delay/problem ... iTunes doesn't werk on that PC crapola ... or else I don't know how to do it ... which is equally possible, admittedly ...

Besides which again, already ... I finally went to check email of last few days, and found a discount price from Apple for the iLife '06 ... except it wouldn't let me into the store ...
